Occupational health
Surveillance, vaccines and site medical checks
Asbestos health surveillance
Required where workers do licensable asbestos work. Medical practitioner involvement and records matter.
Silica dust
Cutting stone, concrete, blocks and tiles can require exposure controls and health surveillance planning.
Noise / audiometry
Plan checks for workers exposed to high noise from cutting, breaking, plant or prolonged tool use.
Hand-arm vibration
Track trigger time and exposure from breakers, grinders, drills and compactors.
Lead paint / old buildings
Stripping old coatings can create lead exposure concerns.
Tetanus
Puncture wounds and contaminated materials make vaccination status worth checking with a GP/occupational-health provider.
Hepatitis A/B
Sewage, drainage, wastewater and contaminated sharps work may justify medical advice.
Drug and alcohol testing
Client, plant, rail, utility or high-risk site policy may require a programme.
Respiratory fit testing
Tight-fitting RPE needs face-fit testing and records.
Skin checks
Cement, solvents, resins and wet work can trigger dermatitis controls.
Mental health support
Useful for toolbox talks, supervisor signposting and welfare planning.
Pre-employment medicals
Often requested for safety-critical roles, plant, confined spaces or heavy manual work.
High-risk topics
Guidance for work that needs extra controls
Working at height
Check access, edge protection, inspection records and rescue arrangements before roof, scaffold or MEWP work starts.
In preparationAsbestos before demolition
Older buildings and refurbishment work may need the right asbestos survey, competent advice and a clear plan before anyone disturbs materials.
In preparationConfined spaces
Use for tanks, drains, chambers, basements and wastewater work where atmosphere, access and rescue planning matter.
In preparationRoad works
Road openings need signing, lighting, guarding and traffic-management controls that suit the location and traffic conditions.
In preparationLifting operations
Check GA records, lifting plans, inspection dates, safe working loads and the competence of operators and slingers.
In preparationRAMS / SPoA
Set out the safe sequence, brief the crew, record attendance and update the method when the site conditions change.
